LCI - Live MV cable identification system

The LCI is intended for energised cable identification on secondary and primary circuits. It features a dual frequency technique that eliminates false identifications. The LCI is designed to be easy to use, safe for the user and cost-effective.

The LCI-E transmitter is connected to the secondary side of a distribution transformer to identify the medium voltage distribution cable located anywhere between the transformer and its source. The LCI is used on isolated distribution cables. The equipment identifies the cable before cutting off the voltage prior to an intervention allowing saving time and money.

The transmitter drains an electric current at a specific frequency that can be detected on the cable section between the source and the transmitter’s termination point (transformer). Detection is possible on high-load cables. The detector uses a magnetic sensor located at the tip of the enclosure and filters out network harmonics.
